Is a shame that the game cant be completed, I liked the art, god job
I like this a lot! It’s a shame we don’t get to see what happens in the end. The idea is very promising, and the art is great!
I do want to give some feedback though:
The scrolling of items in the dialogue selection is very slow. I want to see what option I’ve got selected without having to wait multiple seconds.
There’s a bug where, if someone spawns by you when you progress time, dialogue with them will cut off dialogue with Holmes. (There are some other bugs as well which you seem to be aware of already, but this one is pretty random to run into, so I thought I’d mention it in case you hadn’t discovered it yet)
Holmes obviously doesn’t like it if you tell him who died without being told the name of the victim first, but he doesn’t bat an eye if you tell him that someone was killed without being told that the crime was a murder, which feels a bit counterintuitive.
If you don’t talk to Padison and then kill Hisston, she still calls you Mr. Secret and believes that you killed Hisston, which is odd since she didn’t suggest it to you in the first place if you avoided her. So it would be nice if it was clearer that avoiding someone doesn’t affect the story.
I’d love to play a more fleshed out version of this! It’s a shame it wasn’t properly finished in time for the jam, but you should definitely continue working on it!
The art is amazing and eye-catching.
The controls are a bit confusing at the start, and the moving speed feels too slow.
I couldn't understand who, why, and where should I kill in the game.
I laughed out loud when the slot machine ended on "I Don't Know", that was amazing! I love representations of a scrambled mind like this. If I had animated my older game "Something to Say" I wish it would look like this - I was trying to make a game about dating where dialog options fall out of lootboxes.
I just remembered - the screen was too big for my laptop, I had to zoom out the entire page to see everything. Fullscreen cropped the picture.
Thank you for the feedback. Its not a slot machine, you can build your own answeres. Still glad that you enjoyed it.sorry that the resolution cant be changed but there was an issue with the ui if the resolution was not 1920x1080.
Art is amazing, writing can feel a bit stilted (possibly because of time issues i'm imagining), overall really cute if a bit scuffed around the edges (the question slot machine feels a bit slow). Good job!
thank you, It could just be a language barrier but i just want to clear this up you can choose your own answeres, it's not a slot machine.
No yeah of course! I call it the slot machine just because it looks kind of a slot machine, but yeah i got that you can choose whatever option you want.
Phew. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, just wanted to make sure.
to not repeat everyone here,
the art is gorgeous! Great work on that!
the Idea is quite stellar in my opinion, so kudos on the creativity! albeit the execution leaves much to be desired but again this jam has a very serious time constraint so it's only expected to not polish perfect game, but considering the time frame this was a great entry and suite the fun experience!
overall, a solid entry, a memorable one too thanks to the cute art! great work!
My favorite art of the jam, Love the idea too, but there are some bugs that prevent it from being fully realized, I think you should continue working on it, it's good a solid foundation.
-Enjoyment: It is a purrrfect fun time!
-Creativity: First detective game I have seen!
-Presentation: The art style is Pawtastic!
-Neat game indeed!! Please check out my non-creative entry when you can :D
The art and the idea are great!
With more time for polish and bugfixing, I could totally see this game being sold on Steam! (And I would buy it)
